Shoo, Jimmy Choo!: The Modern Girl's Guide to Spending Less and Saving More Kindle Edition

The financial advice in this book is excellent, with a step by step system to help you clean up you finances and progress towards a fruitful retirement. My main complaint with the book is simply that the author can't seem to write a page without some kind of pop culture or fashion reference. While I understand the book is geared toward women who spend frivolously on these items, I find the repetitive references to expensive fashion irritating and somewhat disjunctive when spliced in a paragraph about 401(k)s. The concept of "you spend too much on this" is clear from the cover as well as the first few pages, and therefore the entire book need not be riddled with references to designers.That being said, this book is an excellent resource for all career minded women once you get past the author's need to establish her credibility as a fashionista in nearly ever section of the book.

Very informational book. I learned SO MUCH about personal finance. I actually checked this out at my library originally, but loved it so much that I bought it from Amazon and am keeping it as a reference. The style is a little condescending-- me and most women I know are not buying luxury goods, but it is accessible, easy to understand, fun, and educational which is why I am still giving it 5 stars.

With a career in finance, I like to keep a couple fun books regarding to financial matters on my desk at work. This one adds a nice pop of color and is modern. The material in it is straight forward and basic information that could help the teen-20s women get a nice run down of investment vehicles and conservative spending. Would make a nice gift to someone starting out of college etc and looking to build a smart future

i guess i haven't gotten over the fact that i'm not rich by now! i mean i'm a savvy girl in my 30's with her own pad and a gulp, cat. okay maybe i'm not that fab, but in my mind i am. so when i decided to purchase this book, i thought it would solve all of my problems, albeit i recieved the book yesterday and it already has me going through my bills and trying to understand the acronym of FICO score. so when i started reading the book, i was surprised that it wasn't condesending or snobby. i really think that it'll help with my financial situation. thanks amazon.

Great beginners book for women (or men) on how to save money and spend less! Easy read with lots of facts and tips. I enjoyed it a lot.

It has some great information but it is definitely geared toward the female. The author should have thought about both male and female enjoying this book and putting the information into practice. I am reading this with my Church group and male is struggling because of the tone of the book.

Great book! puts things in perspective and how to get control of your spending!! Would recommend to all my friends!

Its a great read thus far. And i think it can help me.

me on society when our people are addicted to incredibly expensive shoes and have to be told to lay off wasting money this way. I bet non of the ones who need it - read it. thanks for trying to get through to them.
